Introduction
The Aqua radio-modem is a family of products. Products are available in the 450, 900 and 2400 MHz bands. These products share a common housing and electrical interface to simplify machine installation and integration.
The 450 MHz band radios are used to receive GNSS data in Compact Measurement Record (CMR) format from a reference receiver to one or more roving receivers for precise machine positioning.
The 900 MHz band radios are used to receive GNSS data in Compact Measurement Record (CMR) format from a reference receiver to one or more roving receivers for precise machine positioning. These radios can also communicate 2-way data between an office computer and the machine.
The 2400 MHz band radios are used to communicate ATS location information and commands from a base station to a machine for precise positioning.
Some of these radios are offered alone and as well as in GNSS/ATS combination radios.
Hardware Specification
The AQUA meets stringent hardware requirements and is designed to survive in harsh environments.
It has the following features:
• Flexible antennas for machine installations.
• Physical connection by means of the same 8-pin male Bendix connector previously
used on SN/SNR/TC-series radios. For a description of the connector pinout, see Pinout Information, page 36.
• In addition, Aqua is designed for use with unconditioned 9 VDC to 32 VDC power.
450 MHz Description
The 450 MHz is a multi-channel, ultra high frequency (UHF) radio unit and data modem packaged in a rugged, waterproof, metal case and is designed to withstand severe environmental stress.
Features
• Low latency CMR receiver
• Compatible with TRIMTALK 450 and TRIMMARK radios
• Selectable frequencies
• License-free operation in some European countries
• Upgradeable software
• Ruggedized, weatherproof casing
• Typical 3–5 km range
• Low power consumption
• Two CAN (J1939) ports (250K and 1 M bit )
• One RS-232 interface at either 9600, 38400, or 57600 baud
• Flexible antenna for machine applications
• Machine mounting kit option (for more information, see Mounting the Aqua on a
Machine, page 20)
Frequency Band
Broadcast frequency, transmit power, channel spacing, and antenna gain are regulated by countries-of-use. These are unique on a per-country basis. When you order, you must specify the broadcast frequencies, channel spacing, and country-of-use for the radio­modem.
For more information, contact your local dealer.
Note – Specifications and descriptions are subject to change without notice.
900 MHz Description
The Aqua 900 MHz is a frequency-hopping, spread-spectrum radio unit and data modem packaged in a rugged, waterproof, metal case and is designed to withstand severe environmental stress.
Features
• Low latency CMR transmission
• Compatible with SiteNet and TRIMCOMM radio networks
• Upgradeable software
• Forty selectable networks
• License-free operation in the U.S., Canada, Australia, and NewZealand
• Ruggedized, weatherproof casing
• Typical 3–5 km range
• Low power consumption
• Two CAN (J1939) ports (250K and 1 M bit )
• One RS-232 interface at either 9600, 38400, or 57600 baud
• Flexible antenna for machine applications
• Machine mounting kit option (for more information, see Mounting the Aqua on a
Machine, page 20)
Frequency Band
The 900 MHz radio operates in the 902 to 928 MHz frequency band. It is certified for unlicensed use in this band as a transmitter pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §§ 15.247, 15.249 (1993) (unlicensed, low-power devices) Subpart C of Part 15 of FCC Rules regarding Spread Spectrum Systems for the United States. License-free operation in Canada is covered by RSS-210 of Industrie Canada.
The AQUA can be purchased with a reduced frequency range for use in Australia and New Zealand. It is available in single-frequency mode for other countries.
Note – The 902–928 MHz band is a shared-use band and as such is subject to interfering signals.
This frequency band is allocated to other uses in other parts of the world, including cellular telephony. Regulations regarding its use vary greatly from country to country.
